Indeed. But there's no way to do it without going through the trouble of logging into the server directly, and running a delete query via the
terminal. Our security is such that the web application layer cannot execute the "delete" command.

For some time now the OP has been of the opinion that the quality of threads on ATS have been going down hill. Especially those 3-4 line threads with
nothing but some wild speculation or accusations without any proof what so ever to back it up.

He made up some crazy theory about ATS and decided to observe how many recognition such a thread would get in the form of stars and flags. Obviously
the result cannot be denied.

That if you make a thread opposing ATS or its founders, you are immediately targeted for a "blackout" ..... where they send a team of ninja
assasins to your house to completely annihilate every trace that you ever left on this earth.

personally the OP is just upset because his thread got 404'd, .... personally I think alot more threads should get 404'd. .... like this one.

But it really shows the integrity of ATS, Springer, and Skeptic Overlord, ..... to allow it to stand for all members to see, ..... while they pick it
apart with facts and the truth.

If they were really hiding anything they would have trashed this one too dontcha think OP ??

Unfortunately the only conspiracy here is one comprised of the OP's imagination.

I think he is talking about "Global Ignore" but cannot be sure exactly as he is inferring to being "deleted" later on in the thread. Getting stuck on
Global Ignore generally makes it where nobody can see your replies to posts or in my case it appeared the first guy who replied to my thread was the
author and nobody could see my replies.

To be honest, why they have the "Global Ignore" feature should be the question.

I think they use a Global Ignore option, where members will not be able to see posts, or posts made by certain members. Like when you chose to put a
member on ignore. They could apply the ignore to all members.
